6 things to think about before you head to the hospital
by Sabrina Garibian posted in Pregnancy
I'm about to give birth to my fourth child, and I forgot about all the things you need to think about before you head to the hospital to deliver, so I'm scrambling to get everything ready for our new baby's arrival.
I made a checklist for myself that I thought might help you too.
1. Birth plan
Whether you choose to print this out for your healthcare provider or not, it's important to think about what decisions you might make during labor. Enter the birth plan. Are you open to having your doctor break your water" Do you want an epidural" How soon do you want it, ideally" There are so many decisions to make during labor, even for a picture-perfect delivery. Plan ahead and think through what choices you might want to make in the moment. 2. Diapering
All babies need to be fed and all babies need diapers. Picking the right brand and type of diaper will make my baby comfortable and make my life easier too. As a veteran mom I have found that Pampers Swaddlers are the best, especially in those first few months when you are changing diapers nonstop. If you don't believe me, believe the hospital. Pampers Swaddlers are the #1 choice of hospitals*.
My babies love them because they are blankie-soft, wrapping them up in cush and plush. I love them because the color changing wetness indicator lets me know when the baby needs to be changed. A yellow line means the diaper is dry, and a blue line means it's wet and needs to be change...
